daytrip to Castle Neuschwanstein

Even though it is unusually cold for October the sun was shining on Sunday and we decided to drive to Hohenschwangau. That's the little village were the famous castle Neuschwanstein is. It is only 80 km (50 miles) away from us. We have seen both castles inside already and decided to walk along the Alpsee which lies beneath the castles.

To the left is castle Hohenschwangau, a much older castle that was renovated by King Ludwig's father. They used it as a holiday retreat. In the middle is the new museum and to the right castle Neuschwanstein.
